WLCA2-TSLD Snap Action Switch - Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The WLCA2-TSLD is an Omron Automation and Safety snap action switch featuring SPDT (double-break/double-make) circuitry with a 10A AC / 6A DC current rating at 125V AC / 30V DC. This chassis-mounted switch incorporates a side rotary roller actuator with screw terminal connections and IP67 ingress protection. The product is classified as obsolete, making equivalent substitute parts necessary for ongoing maintenance and new design implementations where this switch type is required.

Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution eligibility for the WLCA2-TSLD is determined by strict equivalence across the following critical parameters:

• Circuit configuration: SPDT (DB/DM) topology
• Current ratings: 10A AC and 6A DC minimum
• Voltage ratings: 125V AC and 30V DC minimum
• Actuator type: Side rotary roller mechanism
• Mounting interface: Chassis mount configuration
• Termination: Screw terminal connections
• Environmental sealing: IP67 classification
• Operating temperature range: -10°C to 80°C
• Electrical and mechanical life cycles

The WLCA2-TSLD-N meets all substitution criteria as an active product within the Omron WL series family, maintaining identical electrical specifications, mechanical interface, and environmental ratings.

Engineering Selection Recommendations

The WLCA2-TSLD-N is the direct equivalent substitute for the obsolete WLCA2-TSLD. Selection is based on the following engineering criteria:

• Electrical equivalence: Identical current and voltage ratings across AC and DC specifications
• Mechanical compatibility: Matching actuator type, mounting interface, and termination style
• Environmental performance: Equivalent IP67 sealing and operating temperature range
• Lifecycle performance: Identical electrical and mechanical cycle ratings
• Product status: WLCA2-TSLD-N is an active product, ensuring ongoing availability and supply chain continuity
• Regulatory compliance: WLCA2-TSLD-N carries RoHS compliance certification, meeting current environmental standards

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can WLCA2-TSLD-N be used as a direct replacement for WLCA2-TSLD in existing applications?

A: Yes. The WLCA2-TSLD-N maintains identical electrical ratings (10A AC / 6A DC at 125V AC / 30V DC), circuit configuration (SPDT), actuator mechanism (side rotary roller), mounting interface (chassis mount), and termination style (screw terminal). No circuit modifications are required.

Q: What are the key differences between WLCA2-TSLD and WLCA2-TSLD-N?

A: The primary differences are product status and compliance certification. WLCA2-TSLD is obsolete, while WLCA2-TSLD-N is an active product with RoHS compliance. Minor mechanical variations exist in release force (227gf vs. 120gf) and overtravel (30° vs. 70°), but these do not affect substitution eligibility for standard applications.

Q: Are there packaging differences between these parts?

A: Yes. WLCA2-TSLD is supplied in standard packaging, while WLCA2-TSLD-N is supplied in bulk packaging. Packaging format does not affect electrical or mechanical performance.

Q: What is the operating force specification for these switches?

A: Both parts specify an operating force of 1360gf, ensuring consistent actuation characteristics across the substitution pair.

Q: Are both parts suitable for IP67 environments?

A: Yes. Both WLCA2-TSLD and WLCA2-TSLD-N carry IP67 ingress protection rating, providing dust-tight and waterproof sealing for harsh industrial environments.
